Need RemoteFunction to update StringValue inside of Player on server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to use RemoteFunction to update the name of a StringValue inside of a player. I would do this using a server-sided script but the name being updated is inside of a LocalScript so the name will only be changed locally and I want the server to recognize the change too.

Inside the local script (segment):

equipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	clickSound:Play()
	if equipButton.Image == "rbxassetid://17316025753" then
		if sword then
			changeImage()
			equippedSwordChangedEvent:FireServer(sword_to_give) -- RemoteEvent is fired
			equipButton.Image = "rbxassetid://17316048949"
		end
	elseif equipButton.Image == "rbxassetid://17316048949" then
			equipButton.Image = "rbxassetid://17316025753"	
		end
	end)

Inside of the server side script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local equippedSwordChangedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquippedSwordChangedEvent")

local function updateEquippedSword(player, equippedSwordName)
	if equippedSwordName then
		player:SetAttribute("EquippedSword", equippedSwordName)
	else
		player:SetAttribute("EquippedSword", nil)
	end
end

equippedSwordChangedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, equippedSwordName) -- listens for event
		updateEquippedSword(player, equippedSwordName)
end)

However, the StringValue name does not update when the event is fired. No outputs in error.

i am confused, you’re firing an event from the localscript, and binded a function on the server script?
these are not related. where… do you listen to the client event? where does the client invoke the server function?

Adjusted the script a bit, the localscript (a segment of it) is:

equipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	clickSound:Play()
	if equipButton.Image == "rbxassetid://17316025753" then
		if sword then
			changeImage()
			equippedSwordChangedEvent:FireServer(sword_to_give) -- RemoteEvent is fired
			equipButton.Image = "rbxassetid://17316048949"
		end
	elseif equipButton.Image == "rbxassetid://17316048949" then
			equipButton.Image = "rbxassetid://17316025753"	
		end
	end)

Server-Side Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local equippedSwordChangedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquippedSwordChangedEvent")

local function updateEquippedSword(player, equippedSwordName)
	if equippedSwordName then
		player:SetAttribute("EquippedSword", equippedSwordName)
	else
		player:SetAttribute("EquippedSword", nil)
	end
end

equippedSwordChangedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, equippedSwordName) -- listens for event
		updateEquippedSword(player, equippedSwordName)
end)

The “EquippedSword” StringValue name still does not change after the event is fired.

where is the reference to that string value?

this is setting an attribute, which is not related to string values. you obtain this value by doing player:GetAttribute(“EquippedSword”)
